Obama Losing Millennials

The latest Harvard youth poll showed that the most hopey-changey age demographic in America is having a change of heart. The 18-29 year-old demographic observed in the survey showed only 41% approve of the President’s job performance at present — an 11-point drop since April.

This could be important. The President’s demonstrable actions will not change, but he’ll definitely get into campaign-mode overdrive. It may work, it may not. He’s already backed himself into a corner.

If Obamacare alienates Millennials from Obama, so what — a temporary blip which could change quickly.

However, if Obamacare alienates Millennials from liberal politics, the Democrats will suffer for years. Accusing Republicans of a “war on women” or blaming them for a “government shutdown” are concepts with little tangible effects on people’s immediate lives. Getting thrown off your health insurance and being fined if you can’t sign up on a broken and insecure website by January 1 is a real thing that matters to people. Millennials are starting to figure this stuff out — too bad they’re 13 months too late!
